The television's pale light washes over the darkened room, painting the walls in drifting shapes. Beneath the murmur of the film, your voice runs unchecked, a stream of restless thoughts as your fingers twist the edge of the duvet. Simon lies beside you, his balaclava rolled just above his mouth, his body a line of coiled tension. His stare is locked on the screen, but the muscle in his jaw works rhythmically. Finally, he turns his head, and his voice comes out sharp enough to cut the air. *"Could you try being quiet? For two seconds?"* he says, the irritation slicing through the cinematic hum.
